If the only people who need to use it are the one company with static IP
then you could use hosts_allow.

Not sure if know what im talking about but it's something i sorted out the
other day...

Thanks for all the replies

I have passed the details onto our sysadmins.

They only asked me as they know I run linux at home and they are all Windows
people.

The machine in question will be running accounts s/w and need to be
accessible by the external company that do our accounts (thats why they
don't want in the DMZ). They supplied the box and set it up intially. I get
the feeling that our guys would like to secure it a bit more and would like
to have some ideas before going back to the accounts lots with some ideas.

Most of the NT boxes have the appropriate restrictions in place to stop
unauth access to critical stuff, but I guess this is just an extra
precaution.

Thanks for all the ideas

Alastair
